104 | Style and function Gable-end doors and windows pack a real impact in the spacious living wing. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Ink Architecture & Brad Payne T T Kim Newth Nestled on a rural block on the outskirts of Cambridge is an attractive triple-pavilion, pitched-roof home that’s tailor-made for entertaining and easy family living. The owners worked with two Cambridge-based residential specialists to bring their new- home dream to reality: Brad Payne Building, and Nick Timms and his team at Ink Architecture. Together, they have created a quintessential country classic. Key elements in the brief were for a modern, farmstead-style home with an industrial edge, and with plenty of room for family living and entertaining. The design-build effortlessly meets that brief in the form of a striking three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with sensational open-plan living, plus office, laundry and double-garage. “Having worked with Brad before, we knew this was going to be an enjoyable project. Brad is very open and good to deal with,” says Nick. “We both have a good collaborative approach with clients, too. “On this project, everyone worked together so well – it all evolved naturally and has turned out really nice. The clients fell in love with the design in the first instance – now they love living in it too.” Gable-end doors and windows pack a real impact in the spacious living wing. The dining and lounge areas, at opposite ends, enjoy floor-to-ceiling country views. It is a beguiling prospect, and the sheer volume adds to the sense of lightness and gracious leisure. At its highest point, the vaulted ceiling rises to 4.5-metres. A streamlined contemporary kitchen in the centre completes the stunning living wing, complemented by sheltered decking and relaxed outdoor living. “The house is not overly large (255sqm including double garage), but the open-plan living is quite a nice size, and the exposed, black-painted steel (including ridge beam and portal frame) add that distinctive industrial touch,” says Nick. The home’s central pavilion includes the laundry and spare bedroom, flowing through to family bedrooms, while the third pavilion houses the garaging. Each pavilion is stepped back, but apex roof heights are consistent. Flat-roofed links between each wing are tastefully clad in cedar, while the home’s main exterior cladding is rustic board and batten. Each pavilion is topped with attractive pitched roofing in a Solar-Rib wide tray profile. A ducted heat pump system, along with a log burner in the lounge, means this is also a very comfortable, cosy home. Brad and Nick have a wealth of experience in the local market and share the same commitment to quality service. Nick says this project has been memorable for both of them. A fully qualified builder and a licensed building practitioner, Brad leads his team with pride to bring projects to life, while ensuring jobs run smoothly and on time.

He and his small team offer bespoke, tailored design solutions for new builds, commercial projects, renovations and extensions throughout New Zealand, including Cambridge, Hamilton, Auckland and the greater Waikato area. “Over the last three or four weeks, there’s been a noticeable uptick in enquiries, with more people starting to pull the trigger on their plans.
